It still isn't clear how many nights you have but I will assume 7. I'm assuming you will do a coastal drive both directions. Many people take I5 one direction as it is much much faster but very very boring.

I would also skip SAN and instead spend the extra day going north of SF into beautiful country that you wouldn't easily get to otherwise.

Here is a proposal. You will spend a good chunk of each day driving with this plan.

Day one Cambria
Day two Carmel
Day three Wine Country
Day four Mendocino
Day five Half Moon Bay
Day six Big Sur
Day seven Santa Barbara

If this is at all, useful critic it and I can make additional suggestions.
